Hey dudes,
So I had a lapierre zesty 314 (medium), and I've just ticked over 6ft so you could say I was a giant when I rode it! So I eventually got a new bike as I needed that large frame! I got a 2013 BH Lynx off gumtree for a crazy price. I wanted to keep most of the spec from the lapierre so I when I got the BH I did just that. I Changed the fork, stem, rear mech, cranks, chain ring, shifter to the BH and everything worked out which I was stoked about! Got it running just how I want it and have since riddin it and Ballarat with a few mates to test it out. This is my first time riding carbon and I really haven't noticed that much different compared to the aluminium. Anyways here is the spec list and some pics!

I've loved this frame since I saw it in person, mid 2013.

Great looking bike!

Thanks mate,
Compared to the zesty Im really liking this BH mainly because the reach is so much longer, though the zesty was easy to through around. I also love where the rear shock is, but the downside is I'll need to but a mud guard to stop rocks and dirt from scratching the shock.
